Low level tanks (pre-tank stance) have a very hard time holding threat after the nerf

[winsock]

This is where many people go wrong. the enmity meter is not a measure of performance. being number 2 on the threat list does not make you the top dps or any other misfounded belief.

what it does is likely make you the dps that never uses quelling strikes or other enmity reduction abilities until it's too late to be beneficial because if you're number 4 on the list you must be terrible.... or the dps that won't peel off the boss to deal with adds in case he's not number 2 when the adds are dead.

people already misread the enmity meter all the time thinking of it as some kind of performance measure..

3 things

1) Who has emnity reduction abilities at low level? Anyone willing to admit quelling strikes being that high of a priority on their cc slots?

2) in what low level dungeon do adds/kill order actually matter? Many early boss battles are only extended by switching to adds or performing mechanics

3) While the emnity gauge isnt perfect, where do you suggest ppl get performance data in game? It isnt perfect, but there are also several situations where being #2 indicates that you're dps is the highest.
